Cooling Towers

Timber Cooling Towers

Timber cooling towers remain a dependable, economical solution for large cooling duties, especially where operators value a familiar, easily repaired structure. We build them with selected hardwood that is pressure-treated against decay and insects, assembled with corrosion-resistant hardware. Each tower is designed by our in-house team for your duty and site, and can be supplied in counterflow or crossflow arrangement.

Why buyers pick it

Treated hardwood structure

Selected hardwood members are pressure-treated with preservatives to resist fungal decay and insect attack in the wet tower environment.

Easy to repair

Individual timber members can be replaced on site with simple tools, making long-term upkeep straightforward.

Designed to your duty

Fill, air flow and distribution are sized for your circulating flow, temperature range and design wet-bulb.

Durable hardware

Hot-dip galvanised or stainless steel bolts and connectors resist corrosion throughout the structure.

Types and configurations

Counterflow timber tower

Film fill with spray distribution for a compact plan area.

Crossflow timber tower

Splash or film fill with gravity basins for easy access and lower pumping head.

Timber tower refurbishment

Replacement of decayed members, fill and internals on existing timber towers.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a timber cooling tower last?

With properly treated timber, good water chemistry and routine maintenance, timber towers give many years of service. Periodic inspection and replacement of affected members keeps the structure sound; our AMC team can manage this for you.

Can an old timber tower be converted to FRP?

Yes. We regularly assess existing timber towers and propose either like-for-like refurbishment or a phased conversion to FRP structure and modern film fill.

What information do you need to quote a cooling tower?

Circulating water flow, hot and cold water temperatures, design wet-bulb temperature at site, available plot area, water quality and power supply details. If some data is missing, our design team can help you establish it from your process and local climate data.

Do you export cooling towers outside India?

Yes. We supply cooling towers, spares and service to clients across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Towers are designed for the site climate, broken down into container-friendly modules where possible, export-packed and shipped to any port worldwide with erection drawings and documentation.

Can our own inspector or a third-party agency inspect the tower?

Yes. Third-party and client inspection is welcome at our factories in Coimbatore, including material checks, dimensional inspection, fan balancing records and pre-dispatch inspection, as agreed in the inspection and test plan.

Do you provide erection and commissioning at site?

We provide erection drawings and manuals with every supply, and our engineers can supervise erection and commissioning in India and overseas on request, or support your local contractor remotely.
